I am making a sand rail, but it won't be run on sand because there is none where i am at... It will be ran on dirt, gravel, asphalt, concrete, and in fields. I am using the front end from a traxxas spirit(looks similar to a sand rails), a clod buster rear end, full tube chassis made from 3/16 brake line and welded together with a graphite bottom plate, futaba s3305 servo, fm radio, and a 5700kv mamba system. It is just about finished, still needs a few more hours of work though. I have about 15 hours of work, half a spool of welding wire, and over 150" of 3/16 brake line it this thing. I will load some pics up in just a little bit. When i load the pics don't laugh please (i am only 15 and this was my first time welding anything all by myself and i designed as i went so it is not the best job out there.

dang this is going to have a fatty rear end with the clod axle hanging off the back. PICS

ya it has a wide wide rear end but i will put some wider 2.2 truck front ribs on the front to make the front a bit wider, pics are getting cropped now so in the next few minutes, my welds are huge but i did gring them down but the were huge so it dont look the best.

Haulin Azz

Haulin Azz

That is going to be a sick @$$ build!!! I ran across this on ebay and thought it might help you out a little

ya that is pretty sweet! I hope this will be good with the mamba lol!!

mindwreck

that is pretty sweet. i like the solid rear axle suspension setup you made there. might i suggest angling the shocks a bit to get more travel because im pretty sure its you going to be launching that thing

again. that is one fatty rear end. haha

It looks awesome but those are some serious booger welds! Hit that frame with a sander.... it would make all the difference in a finished look.

Haulin Azz

ya i will get wheels to make the width look better front to rear. i have sanded it for over an hour with a dremel at 10k rpm and took off alot, it will stay like that for a little while. Ya i thnk i might angle the shocks some later on also. I hope the rear frame shock mounts hold on some big launches.... I am thinking about some 2.2 truck ribs in front, and some paddles and somethen else for the rear.

Looks good. Yeah some 2.2 ribs up front would be sweet. Is that steel?

Haulin Azz

yep it is steel 3/16 brake line welded together. it is still light amazingly, less then half the weight of an e-savage.

[X(]looks good m8 keep up the good work cant wait to see it shift in a vid soon

Haulin Azz

thanks, once i have some extra dough i will be making a drag car with a tamiya toureg rear solid axle, emaxx tranny for two speed shifting, a full tube chassis, straight tube front axle(it is going to be a 41 willys gasser), and dual engines.
